About Me

Tongue is the name and hip hop is the game. I'm 23 and from Sydney and am signed to an independent label named Elefant Traks.
I've played shows with these guys: *De La Soul (US) *Ugly Duckling (US) *The Herd *Pegz *Hermitude *J-Live (US) *Koolism *Muph and Plutonic *TZU *Bliss N Esso *MC Supernatural (US) *Astronomy Class *Macromantics *Katalyst *DJ Q-Bert (US) *Delta *Steve Spacek (UK) *Expansion Team (US)
And at these festivals:
The Big Day Out, Good Vibrations, Groovin The Moo, Playground Weekender, Parkjam and The Sydney Festival
The live show features my homie from Newcastle, 2X NSW DMC Champion DJ Skoob. He is a what my old school headmaster would have called "one of natures gentlemen".
There are two releases so far. An album "Shock And Awe" (2007) and an EP "Bad Education" (2006)...and more on the way :) All of it is availible from your local record store or in something called "mp3 format" from Itunes
I've appeared on other releases as well, including:
*"Trampled": The Elefanttraks Remix Album (2006) *The first ever "JJJ Hip Hop Show compilation" compiled by Maya Jupiter (2005) *"The Sin City Mixtape" featuring Ozi Batla, DJ Jack Prest and Good Buddah (2006) *The "Purebred" Mixtape (2005) *Spit Syndicates "The Future's Bright" Mixtape (2006) *Urthboy's album "The Signal" (2007) *"Sin City Volume 2" Mixtape (2007) *Bias B's "Beemixes" (2007) *Katalyst's "All You've Got" 12" vinyl (2007) *Chasm's "Beyond The Beat Tape" (2008)
And won some battles:
*7th annual Revolver MC Comp *NSW Battle For Supremacy *The Shoreshocked MC Battle *'BattleActs' vs 'Double-Beef'
Enjoy the music. Enjoy yourself. Don't waste your life on myspace.
